Abstract

A method for passing a plurality of optical fibers into an enclosure configured to enclose in an interior thereof a plurality of optical communication connections may include accessing the interior of the enclosure. The method may also include separating a module plate associated with a floor of the enclosure to provide an opening between an exterior of the enclosure and the interior of the enclosure. The method may also include feeding the plurality of optical fibers through the opening and into the interior of the enclosure. The method may further include associating the module plate with the enclosure, such that the module plate at least partially defines an aperture through which the plurality of optical fibers pass from the exterior of the enclosure to the interior of the enclosure.
